Weirdly enough I'm actually less suspicious of her after this race. One of the telltale signs of EPO is delayed lactate buildup at fast paces, which usually prevents this kind of rig.
What about when Nijel Amos rigged up to nearly a walk during a DL a few years back after going through 400 in 48.xx?

“Doesn’t even look tired” is commonly cited as a doping indicator. But people accuse anyone who runs a fast time at any point. “Suspicious progression” or whatever.

Doping has been established as being throughout the sport. But you will never see it, no matter how glaringly obvious. She went from a runner who'd never won an international race to running the times that doped Chinese did.
Devastating for Georgia Griffith who would go to Worlds if Hull had won.
Someone find a video clip.
Hull fit a wall. It was 10% mental too, but physically, she pushed her body as far as it would go. I am sorry for her, because she ran so well otherwise.
Wow, that's commentary is horrible and the commentary team are bloated morans. I see why people complain about flotrack. Who was the central commentator? She was particularly wrong and useless.
I concur. But I also appreciate FloTrack changing their model to allow non-paying fans to watch the late season DL races and the DL final without a subscription. Instead of paying for horrid commentary, we at least got to watch the races and the "price" was dealing with the mediocre commentators in the 4-corners of the screen. They were watching a Livestream of the races and commenting. It was meh.
As for the specific poor commentary in the women's 1500 - the 4 FloTrack commentators would bring in a special guest commentator for particular events - someone who has experience in that event. One I remember from Wednesday was Marquise Goodwin for the LJ. The 1500 special guest commentator was Nikki Hiltz. The 4 official commentators then put the special guest commentator on the spot, live, to call the race. I assume the special guest commentator knew that was coming in advance(?), but Hiltz appeared to be completely caught off guard and didn't know what to say. Great racer, poor on-the-spot race commentator. Hard to blame Hiltz.
